What to Expect in a Physics Programme
Immerse’s Academic Pathway dives into the complex theories and experimental research that define modern physics. The ‘Academic Insights’ programme emphasises hands-on experiments, theoretical models, and the study of fundamental physical principles. Students explore various physical phenomena and engage in critical problem-solving exercises to understand complex concepts. By conducting experiments and analyzing data, they gain a deep comprehension of the physical world. This pathway provides students with the foundational knowledge and analytical skills essential for success in physics, preparing them for future scientific endeavors.
With Immerse, participants can choose to study Physics remotely as part of a group in an academic physics online summer course. ‘Online Insights’ will arm remote learners with the same experiments, theoretical analyses and simulations as the residential Academic Insights programme.
Alternatively, participants can complete an Online Research Programme, during which they’ll delve into a personally chosen research area with the help of an expert physicist, ultimately producing a university-level academic paper.
